Sleep Tracking - A Good Experience [Race 2]

Hi all

Still new to to the world of Suunto with three weeks in the tank. However, wanted to share my experiences with sleep tracking over said period.

And it has been nothing but solid. Initially, I had a few problems with the time registered when I woke up, but that was sorted by extending DND for half an hour. The problem was that they watch recognised awake time by the start of my first morning alarm, but sometimes if I would snooze or cancel the alarm entirely (because toddlers), it would say I woke up at the first alarm. Perhaps by tweaking my resting HR, and definitely by changing do not disturb, that has not been an issue since.

My falling asleep time is banging on within a minute or two. Right now I have the luxury of falling asleep almost immediately after going to bed, and the last thing I checked before tucking in, is the time on the watch. Next morning, my falling sleep time is within 3 to 4 minutes of that, which totally fits.

HRV seems consistent as well - I’ve got more or less the same readings as on Polar and Garmin (within the past 12 months), so I am guessing it’s not totally off. Or at least consistently off. It also tracks my overall feeling well, too. So no complaints either.

I’ve never gotten more than ~80% score and my occasional visit to the toilet during night is also not registered. but frankly, I don’t care sleep and awake times are rock solid

Just read so many people saying it doesn’t work and so on, so wanted to share my experiences as a new Suunto user.

What are your thoughts and experiences?

Hi there

New to Suunto (a week), and having a question about ZoneSense:

As you can see from attached photos, it says I did almost a 50/50 split, but when looking at the chart, that seems nowhere like a 50/50 split. What would be the correct place to look? Further, based on a 50/50 split, I am not recommended to change my HR zones, which I would believe it would warrant, if I ran almost half of the 10K in an-aerobic?

To be fair, I am not 100% recovered from last week‘s runs (maybe 90%), so there is of course that.

Finally, and while I understand HR zones and ZoneSense don’t have a correlation per se, I ran only three minutes in Z3 (with a beat or two above Z2). Well within my typical Z2 work.

I ran my first 10 minutes/almost 2K 20 sec slower pace than the remaining 8-9K, so it should be able to find a baseline, no?

Feedback has been questionable on ZoneSense, I can see, but overall it should work very fine for slow endurance, right?
